We decode the JSON, loop through the objects, add unique IDs to a new array, create a placeholder array for ITEMS, and append the TASK to this ITEMS. After this is all done, we can re-encode the data and return.

Code:

// Your JSON array of objects
$json = <<ID, $grouped)) { // a new ID...
         $newObject = new stdClass();

         // Copy the ID/ID_NAME, and create an ITEMS placeholder
         $newObject->ID = $object->ID;
         $newObject->ID_NAME = $object->ID_NAME;
         $newObject->ITEMS = array();

         // Save this new object
         $grouped[$object->ID] = $newObject;
    }

    $taskObject = new stdClass();

    // Copy the TASK/TASK_NAME
    $taskObject->TASK_ID = $object->TASK_ID;
    $taskObject->TASK_NAME = $object->TASK_NAME;

    // Append this new task to the ITEMS array
    $grouped[$object->ID]->ITEMS[] = $taskObject;
}

// We use array_values() to remove the keys used to identify similar objects
// And then re-encode this data :)
$grouped = array_values($grouped);
$json = json_encode($grouped);
